Unaccompanied minors offices in Las Palmas

The Immigration Office in Las Palmas

Menores extranjeros no acompañados: determinación de la edad, residencia y mayoría de edad is an authorisation, so it is decided at an Oficina de Extranjería under the Government Delegation — not at a police station. They are separate networks with separate appointment systems, and going to the wrong one is the most common wasted journey in Spanish immigration.
